Sally Sent on 12/07/202528.06.25 - perfect is an understatement
Firstly, a note on the venue....
We first visited the hotel just after getting engaged and from the first visit we knew this was where we wanted to get married. The venue had everything and was in the most gorgeous setting. We initially fell in love with the ceremony room, and that big beautiful bay window. We could immediately picture us standing there saying our "I Do's". The room was perfect as it was and we didn't feel the need to spend a fortune to decorate it.
We then had our reception drinks in the garden as the weather was so nice. This was a perfect Cotswolds setting with lots of garden space for guests to catch up but also seating if needed. Even though we did not have exclusive use of the hotel, the wedding party was tucked away and we didn't even notice any other guests at the hotel which made it feel like we had exclusivity!
The second room that we used for the wedding breakfast was perfect, we had all round tables and it looked so good with the tables set up. This was also the room we used for the DJ and evening party which, with the fairy lights option and mirrors on the wall looked so cool!
As we had guests who were staying from all over the world, it was important that there was space for them to stay. All the hotel rooms are beautifully decorated and well equipped which was a huge bonus for us to be able to offer our guests! Another note on the hotel rooms, both the bridal party and grooms party both stayed the night prior and got ready at the venue. The bridal party was in the Games Keeper which was perfect for the whole group to get ready and the hair and make up had ample room. It made the morning a relaxed and magical experience which started the day just as we had wanted.
A note on the staff...
Both pre wedding and on the day the staff were faultless. Mia, the wedding co ordinator, had been more than what we could have asked for. Picking us up from where her predecessor had left off was such a smooth transition and any worries were put to bed from her first email. No email or question since was left unanswered and she has been so helpful and attentive to our every need. Allowing us to be adaptive and with her flexibility to our quirks, the pork pie cake logistics being one that springs to mind... along with the timings of our speeches which we know wouldn't have been easy. This was all taken in her stride, along with the help from her team, to ensure we had the day we wanted with our own personal touches. If we could do it all over again, we would do it exactly the same.
The whole team on the day, we and all of our guests thought, were unable to be faulted. The level of service was exquisite, and this is something that stuck with us from the day we came for dinner at the hotel over a year ago. The help given to us and all of our suppliers ensured that everything ran smoothly and everyone of our guests, including our suppliers, had an amazing time. The communication between us, suppliers and the team meant everything ran so smoothly and that is down to the amazing team and set up at the venue.
In the evening, we were handed over to the team who again looked after us so well. The bar staff and lady heading the evening meant that every detail continued all the way to breakfast and check out the next morning.
A little note on the food....
A few moths prior, we had a menu tasting. We both love our food so thought this would be an easy part of all the decision making, but we were wrong! We struggled to shortlist the extensive menu options down to just two for our menu tasting, a credit to the kitchen team for creating such beautiful sounding dishes to choose from. When we sat down to decide on our final menu, we still found it a huge challenge to decide between the two, and took comfort from whichever one we chose we knew that it would be something that our guests would love. On the day the food was nothing short of exceptional. So many of our guests have said how they have never had such good food at a wedding!! Trying to impress a whole room of people when only two of them have made the choice of food is a hard task, but one that the team managed with ease. Alongside this, a note on how exquisite the level of service was by the restaurant team. The attention to detail felt like we were sat in a Michelin starred restaurant which blew us and our guests away.
We cant speak highly enough of this venue. The whole weekend was more than we could have asked for which is largely down to the choice we made to get married here.
Thank you to the whole team at the Hare and Hounds, we cannot wait to come back and visit for years to come. -

We had the most incredible wedding we could have ever asked for!
The staff at the Hare and Hounds were a huge part of what made this so special, especially Leigh who co-ordinated our wedding. The staff made sure we felt completely relaxed and prepared every step of the way.
The food was phenomenal, with guests telling us it was the best wedding food they had ever had!
The venue itself is beautiful and the grounds outside allowed for the most gorgeous photos.
I couldn’t recommend this enough, it was the dream venue for us!! -

Wedding of the Century!
We had such an amazing time at our wedding and have been told it was the Wedding of the Century!
The venue is beautiful, service top notch and I can't tell you how many people told us the food was amazing!
We loved it and can't thank everyone enough! From reception, to house keeping who rescued me getting ready on the hottest day ever, to the amazing food and beverage team, management and the wedding coordinator, the service was always top notch.
The venue and grounds are beautiful and the team run a slick wedding with 100 day guests and extras in the evening they didn't miss a beat.
We can't recommend this venue highly enough and want to thank everyone for all they did. We need to book up our anniversary now!
Get this booked up, you won't regret it.

Rachel Sent on 01/05/2026A Perfect Day at The Hare and Hounds
Our wedding at The Hare and Hounds was everything we hoped for and more. From the very beginning, Mia, the wedding coordinator, was brilliant, always responsive, meeting with us regularly, and happy to answer any questions we had, no matter how small. She made the whole planning process feel easy and stress-free.
One of the standout aspects for us was the package the hotel offers. It meant they really took the lead on so many details, allowing us to relax and actually enjoy the build-up to the big day rather than feeling overwhelmed.
On the day itself, everything ran incredibly smoothly. The staff were attentive throughout and really looked after us as the bride and groom, always making sure we had a drink in hand and that we didn’t miss out on any food. We were kept updated regularly throughout, which made us feel completely at ease.
The venue itself was immaculate all day. Everything was kept clean, tidy, and well-organised. The cottage where the bridal party got ready was beautifully prepared and then cleaned and organised again ready for us to return to on the wedding night, which was such a thoughtful touch.
The food and drink included in the package were excellent, and all of our guests commented on how good everything was. We chose to upgrade our evening food to a hog roast, which was a fantastic decision, it was delicious and the venue were able to cater perfectly for everyone.
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The Hare and Hounds delivered a truly special day, and we would highly recommend them to anyone considering it as a wedding venue.

Simon Sent on 09/04/2026Outstanding and stunning
The venue is beautiful, with high class accommodation and stunning rooms for the wedding ceremony and wedding breakfast.
The staff are outstanding, from the care and detail that Mia, H&H wedding coordinator, went to. She truly goes above and beyond. Her supervisors and staff were equally as fantastic with many of our guest commenting on how the staff were so relaxed and professional at the same time.
We highly recommend Hare and Hounds Hotel for weddings, the venue and staff enhanced our perfect day
